Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

I can reproduce this bug using Xubuntu 8.04 as the SSH client and Xubuntu 8.10 as the SSH server. If I SSH to the 8.10 system, and then select Quit -> Shutdown, the system will logout the current user only. It will not shutdown until I break the SSH connection at the client. I am attaching the ~/.xsession.error log.

I changed the package to openssh, based on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/251337/comments/1 from Sebastien Bacher that it does not seem to be a gdm bug.
